My "Go-To" Crankbait!Since beginning to use Flicker Shads, they have no doubt become a confidence bait for my boat in respect to consistently boating walleyes! The range of sizes and colors available means I'm always able to find the right combination to put fish in the boat. Not just walleyes love 'em - we boat a ton of "accidental" smallmouth, northern pike, big crappies and even a few muskies on Flicker Shads as well.

Lake ErieI've switched from crawler harness to flicker shads due to the mess of worms. Erie is awesome for walleye and the flicker shad still produces fish even when it gets slow. I've pulled up walleye, small mouth bass and lots of silver bass. I've usually average at least 1 large 12-14 inch perch a trip. Hooks are a little on the light side but I do not keep extremely tight drags so I have not had the hook problems as other unless I use pliers to remove the hooks on sheephead. My favorite is 7 cm at 55 feet back off the board. Soo much faster then crawler harnesses. Thanks Berkley.

Simply Awesome LuresThese were on sales at a local sporting goods store, and as a couple of the color patterns caught my eye, I picked up a few for my next guided trip. I wasn't expecting much given their price but threw them aboard and figured they'd be worth trying. Nothing of my normal lures was working that day and after 4 hours of coming up empty with the normal arsenal, we threw down a couple of Flicker Shad.
It wasn't 8 minutes and we had our first monster on board. 12 minutes later, we had another. We ended up boating 9 fish over 10lbs and 3 over 20. We were fishing for lake trout and cutthroat and recorded one of our best days ever
these lure and simply AWESOME!! Their vibration, diving and coloring is unique among most of my lures, including the ones that cost upwards of 25 dollars each.
I LOVE these and now own a tackle box specifically just for these.

Really produced!Used the Flicker Shad no. 7 size in Canada after other lures were unproductive. Caught nice walleye, northern, and smallmouth bass in rapid succession. One smallie was big enough to destroy one of the three trebles. Easy to fish, doesn't tend to get hooks caught in the leader while casting. Five stars.

effective lureHas been great on walleye and picking up a lot of bass with it as well. Could use an upgrade on the hooks and have had lips break as well but great bait for the price. Has also caught some big crappie while trolling for walleye. Chartreuse growler has been awesome. Puts fish in the boat.

Flicker ShadYour Flicker Shad are great lures, they work as good if not better than the Shad Raps but are way cheaper.I am however having a hard time finding the ones in the Growler color. Fleet Farm 's supply is getting picked over, can't find any 6 or 7 sizes and nothing on the internet in that color. They can't sell them if they don't have them. Also I think your Fireline is great stuff, I us it on all my reels. So come on guys, get these lures out there. Marty Tangen

Exceptional Trolling lures for Walleye & Coho'sI've puchased more than 100 of these in the 2.5 Inch and 2 Inch sizes. They are excellent lures for trolling. I've caught hundreds of Walleye on them with bonus fish of Crappies, bass, northerns and even a bluegill. On the Great Lakes I use them for Coho's, Browns and Lake trout. They out fish their more expensive competitor lures. Just this season since May I've boated over 40 keeper Walleye's on them. Great Lure and Great Value

Multi species lureThe Flicker Shad is truly a prime example of a multi purple lure . When a fishing friend of mine suggested I try these lures I was amazed at the action plus they do turn the fish on . Since then I have purchased almost every color I could find . They are priced so every one can buy them but the reason you should buy them is they work. Thank You EMH
